The injury bug has bitten the Los Angeles Lakers once again.

The team fears Xavier Henry suffered a ruptured left Achilles during practice Monday, as the swingman went down without contact and says he heard a pop.

"He was devastated," head coach Byron Scott said.

Henry had seen limited minutes so far this season after working his way back from offseason knee surgery. Last week, he was reported to be a potential candidate to be cut.
